As someone with 20+ years of sitting zazen, I feel I can offer a helpful and very accurate review.First, the good. The color is nice, it was the deeper color of brown that I was hoping for, rather than the primary brown shown in the photo. The cover seems sturdy enough. If you are doing 15 minute sits, this would be fine.Now, the actual specs of the thing. It is small. If you are over 5'5", this is not a cushion for you. It is not a very thick cushion, so taking it on retreat would be a very bad idea. However, it is light, so traveling with it would be fine. The interior is uneven in places.I bought this cushion as a seat to put in front of a low desk and not for sitting. I would not recommend it for actual zazen practice for any extended period of time. I can tell from experience that this cushion is going to flatten out very quickly.In this case, you're getting what you're paying for. If you're going for serious practice, I would suggest DharmaCrafts.

Great traveling zabuton; this one isn't the greatest for home use, because the one I have at home is 4" thick and made of a better material, so it's much more comfortable. However, this one fit in my smallish suitcase (sort of folded into a "U" shape in the bottom, with my clothing etc. on top), and really is perfect for travel. Glad I got it. And the price seems quite fair to me; my large one was quite a bit more expensive, even accounting for its larger size and quality. This one is a real deal.

This is a very nice basic cushion and you can't beat the price. Because some of the reviews were a bit on the negative side, I ordered only one to see what it was like. I ordered six more once I saw it. I don't understand the reviews that say it is too small. It it the size of a regular couch cushion. The cover is good and heavy and comes off for washing.

I use these as dining room chairs (renting in Korea), and they are perfect. Comfortable, easy to clean with the boldest colors I've seen; my only reason for three star rating is they came with a chemical smell that made people sick. It took two full bottles of febreeze and two days outside on the clothes line before they could be allowed into the apartment. So keep that in mind when ordering.

Great zabuton! Makes meditation easier on my knees, used with a bench or a zafu cushion. Also nice for those days I want to sit on the floor but need a bit of cushion.

Additional note: Unable to use now, as once I removed my zafu cushion from the zabuton to clean it, my cat claimed it as his favorite place to sleep. Immediately, the fabric became tabby colored fur-coated, and washing the cover didn't quite remove the fur. Guess I'll have to get another for me to use!

The is a very well-made product with a substantial cushion inside the cover. The zippered cover is removable and washable.

One thing to pay attention to before ordering: at 24" x 24", this zabuton is probably smaller than the ones you've sat on at your a temple or meditation center. Those are generally 30" square, 30" x 36", or 36" square. This is plenty big for home practice, but if you order expecting what you've seen at your local zendo, you may be disappointed.

I loved my small round one and I need this one to support my knees and ankles during my daily meditation practice. This came in very fast and is a good quality and size. I love the washable cover. I have it under the small round bean in cocoa. I kind of wish the colors complemented each other more but that's a small aesthetic issue. I think it works great and is able to keep my mind focused on the mediation rather than my ankles on the cold floor. I may get a nice scarf to tie the two colors together and I really am able to sit longer with both cushions.

i call it my magic pad! just fell in love with meditation and yoga after trying earlier in my life. i wanted to carry it to a newer level. i used to sit in a chair and just KNEW i could nev!er sit in the lotus position (i still can't do the TRUE lotus but have a slightly modified version) but with a more dedicated approach to yoga (even tried bikram and yes, you SWEAT!) i decided to sit on the floor. of course at 62 i don't have the seat cushion i once did so the floor got hard, old, quick. i LOVE this mat! i wake each a.m. at about 1-3 a.m. do about 40 minutes of meditation and go right back to sleep! i sometimes squeeze a bit of yoga in also. the second round of sleep is soo much better and find i don't need the "adult daily requirement" of 8 hours. gotta decide for you what is YOUR normal! i thought a bit pricey at first but, the quality of it makes it worth it for Me. i am the type of person if i like it and i think the price is decent, i buy it with no regrets. many haggle, search forever just to say they got it for a price and sometimes forget what they bought and why...
